🏡Client refurb Nearly Finished 🏡

We are very close to the end of this refurb now and I'm so excited. It started off as a three bedroomed terrace and will finish as a four bed.🛌

luckily I feel like this has all gone to plan and we are on schedule to hand over the keys at the end of this month.👍

I'm sure we will have one very happy Client 😃

😃 A Few Days of Fun 😃

In the middle of all the work we have on at the minute we decided to book a little break with the kids.

We didn't really have the time but we both needed the time off and we are so glad we did.🥰

We realised if we didn't take a break we would burn out and it was so lovely to relax and recharge.

We booked a lovely home in Malton and spent some time with the kids and the weather was brilliant.☀️
Oh and we added a night to see Bruce Springsteen at Wembley too 🥰

I suppose there is never a good time when your busy but sometimes you just have to do it!

🏡Number 329🏡

Wow what a testing time it is having work done on your own house whilst living in it!😜

We are finally water tight after having a few leaks into the bathroom and through to the downstairs utility 😩

We've looked at the mock up picture of our house for years and I cant believe how much better it looks in real life.❤️

Yesterday Oli and our roofer John managed to get the last few tiles on the top and soon the scaffolding will be down and I can see it properly.

I think we will be having a break once the outside is done before we start the inside and try enjoy the summer with the kids before the mess starts again.😂

🏡Renovation update 🏡

We are getting there with our latest refurb.🔨

Since we have got the keys we have:-

*Ripped out and re arranged the layout.
* added lots of new electrics
* boarded and re plastered all the new walls
*installed all new doors and woodwork
* started Installing the bathroom
* Started installing the kitchen
* removed all weeds and cleaned up the garden.

There is still lots to do but we are really happy with the progress.

Thank you to our brilliant team of skilled tradesmen, all this wouldn't be possible without you all. Foulds Whittaker mellors 🪠🪚

Having people you can trust is the only way these kind of refurbs work!

🏡Deal Sourcers🏡

What makes you use a deal sourcer?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, I always hear sourcers are s**t ....sourcers are a rip off etc etc

Yes I do believe a lot of them just try and sell any old s**t because they think its a deal?

Last week someone came to me and asked me about a property they had been sent and said the numbers work etc etc but could I have a look at the area and my response was...... I wouldn't even drive around there let alone buy a house.😱

One of the main reasons I think that you should use a small company like us is that we would never send you a property we wouldn't buy ourselves.
I personally drive around the areas week in week out so I know exactly where I would be happy buying and selling to my clients.
Property is a long game and you need all the right players if you are going to win!😁

If you would like to know more drop us a message and we would be happy to help.📩

🏡 Our house update 🏡

I can't get over the progress that our builders have made in the last 6 weeks.😱

Thanks to one of Oli's friends Habbin and his team this has all been possible.

We are hoping for another 4 weeks and the outside will be finished 🤞

Pinterest is getting some hammer now whilst i plan all the new rooms inside.🤣

🏡 Honesty is the best Policy 🏡

When we started doing deal packaging for clients I always thought I should try and be professional and change my accent slightly to sound less Yorkshire 🤣

Then I thought do you know what We are who we are and either people like us and want to work with us or they don't. I do believe in any business you buy into the person who you know is going to do a good job but someone who you get along with and be honest and that's exactly what we try and do.

I thought I would share a snippet from a conversation between me and my client last week.

What makes you choose someone to do a Job for you?

🌧️ Are you Fed up of the British Summer? 🌧️

Have you ever thought that property could pay for your holidays?

Hear us out.......

Rates are high at the moment so admittingly the cashflow isn't amazing but there is less competition for properties.

But when the rates do drop (we think around 3.5%-4% by the end of 2025) the average BTL will cashflow £300-£350 a month so an extra £3600- £4200 a year is a good chunk of extra cash to do something nice with.

Now I know the BTL police will tell us that every house gets trashed and every boiler breaks blah blah but nothing in life worth having comes without issues and we definitely know what we would choose.

💫 Follow your own Goals not Society's 💫

Our journey has not been the fastest and that was never our intention, We started when our little girl was 2 so our priority was her, not work.

We have always tried to do our work around the kids so we don't miss out on them. I'm sure there will soon be a time when they don't want to come and sit on our knee or snuggle on the sofa and we don't want to miss that for ANYTHING!

If you want a big house and a flash car that's great but make sure its what you want and not because it looks good on social media.

Our goal has always been time and freedom and it will continue to be exactly that.

Property has given us the luxury of the time and freedom and we will be forever grateful.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🏡 First Weeks Progress 🏡

This week has been a busy one for us, We got the keys to this Social Housing project for one of our clients and we have made a flying start.⏩

We have
* ripped out the bathroom and kitchen🛀
* Added new stud walls 🧱
* Liaised with the Electrician and Plumber ready for them to start 👨‍🔧

We will be giving our client bi-weekly updates.

If you are interested in something like this, get in touch we will be happy to help.📩

If anyone wants to get rid of their other half for 30 minutes a day I recommend buying these books for them as since Oliver Favell has started reading them I get some piece and quite 😂

I used to find it really hard to read something that wasn't a story as I loved to completely switch off and forget about life but since I've got older I love to read self improvement books and ones that benefit me somehow.

Are there any books you recommend or like to read?

🏡 Working with your Other half🏡

Me and Oli met 10 years ago ( on a dating website)😂

Oli was a Dry liner and I owned a Hair salon, We would of never though that 10 years later our lives would be like this and we would be working together.

I can honestly say that it works (thankfully)😅
Luckily we have the opposite strengths and weaknesses so we balance each other out, I'm not saying its perfect but its perfect for us.

Could you work with your other half or would you kill them?😵‍💫

What is stopping you investing in property? 🏡

Here are a few reasons we decided to take the leap:-

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦More time with our young children
🕰️Flexible working hours
🏃‍♀️Give our children a better start than we had
📈Build wealth

If you feel like these are reasons you agree with but don't know where to start, reach out and we will be happy to help.📩

🏡 Social Housing Conversion 🏡

We have finally got the keys to this property we are renovating for our client.

This property is currently a 2/3 bedroomed terrace, however you go through the second bedroom to get to the third so it wasn't working like that. Whilst viewing the property we decided to change the layout completely and turn into a four bedroomed house to hand over to social housing for a family in need.

This will be a large renovation with the bathroom getting moved from the back to the front and the top floor being made into two rooms.

Not only will this be an amazing investment for our client but it will also be another property that helps those who need it the most.

Our roles on this project will include:-

* Sourcing the property
* Agreeing the use with the Social housing provider
* Liaising with solicitors
* Project managing the refurb
* Sourcing and setting up all furniture required
* Making sure it is all compliant with Social housing regulations
* Handing over the keys to the social housing provider

🏡Rental Market is Booming🏡

I advertised a property two weeks ago and the amount of applicants I have had is unbelievable, after receiving 52 applications I have had to pause the advert 🫣

This is now something we offer to our clients so that they don't have to do anything at all from start to finish.

Let us work our way through all the applications and find the perfect tenant for your property (even if it is 52🤣)

On a plus note this property has increased in rent by £225 a month since 2021.

If you would like to get into property and feel we can help you then drop us a message, we would love to chat.😃📩

🏡Busy Times Ahead🏡

Since we moved into our home 3 years ago we have been planning our extension.

We bought our house with the planning already in place but in that time we have changed our mind so many times, figured out what we needed as a family, what layout we wanted and how we lived in our house.

2 weeks ago it finally got started and I'm already excited to share the progress.

Interested in learning more or ready to get started? Drop us a message we'd love to chat!📩

Great viewing on a potential property yesterday, Brodi loved it too 😜 it’s at auction so I will be putting in an offer 🤞🏼

Everyone is on the count down til Christmas but we are doing more than ever to try and get our clients a great deal in time for the big man.🎅

On a plus note I have had a FULL night’s sleep with no one waking me up 😃

I think that is enough to get the wine out later 🤣🤣

Viewings this morning then onto a property that we have tenants in to do some odd jobs and fix some things for them🥴
Never ends this job 😜

What a lovely morning, dropping the kids at school then straight over to meet a client, fuelled by coffee cause the youngest decided midnight was time to get up 🥴😅

What a wholesome weekend we’ve had, found a new place we love and a 1785 sawmill ❤️

Looking back on the first buy-to-let. 🏡
We started this during covid as myself and my dad were furloughed so we had all the time to do it up. (Not all of it ,I’m not that good)🔨
This house has definitely paid off👍🏼
Purchase price.£66,500
Refurb costs £14,000
New valuation £110,000

It’s Friday and boy am I happy about it 😂😜

It’s the last week of the school holidays and shout out to all the mums/dads winging work and kids for the next 6 weeks😜

I’ll be the one in the park on week 5 with a bottle of wine and a straw🤷‍♀️😂

All jokes aside it’s been a busy week and I’m currently on with looking for a property for my client and I’ll be finding them something that makes their money work for them.

If you are interested in seeing how I can help you comment with your email address and I will get back to you. 💷🤑🏡

Manifesting a great March. So much to do and so little time 😂👊🏼

We had some work to do at one of our properties at the weekend and as you can see the kids had the best time 😂 we did promise them a park and some cake so all good in the end 🤪🥶

How did you manage to hide all the chopped up decking in the garden🤣🤣

On days like today I am so grateful that I get to work from home, the kitchen used to be the office but I got fed up with stuff everywhere so we made our little box room into my new place of work ❤️

So much admin to get through today, emails and phone calls to catch up on👍🏼 love working from home 🏡

Go on wife💪💪
